POOL FOR ASKING PEOPLE HELP ABOUT MY FIC!

okay so i have this huuuuuge three houses fic that's basically dimileth, golden ending, and dimitri's character study with byleth being in a timeloop trying to save everyone and defeat TWSITD. but. its in italian. and i dont want to publish it in italian bc barely no one reads fire emblem fics in italian so i want to translate it in english but MAN IT'S 130K+ WORDS. 😭

i care a lot about this fic, ive been working on it since 2021. it's mostly the game by dimitri's pov, with some chapters in byleth's pov bc i basically made her the homura of the story (eheh angst). with a bunch of dimileth of course.

the funniest thing about the creation of this fic is that i started writing the dimitri's pov to prove a friend of mine who played all three houses but didnt like dimitri that dimitri is a well written character and not just an "edgelord basic fire emblem lord" (cit.). actually i wrote it to prove EVERYONE dimitri is a well written character but anyway. this friend liked the fic and told me he changed his mind a bit about dimitri. then another friend asked me to read it, and keep in mind she hasnt played three houses. so, to make her understand the lore a little better, i added some dimitri's supports with the blue lions and other characters. with some exceptions, the support dialogues are almost word for word the same as the game's one.

SO. my question is: if i translate this fic, should i keep the support dialogues as they are in the game? or should i try to change them a bit (like i did for some of them, like i changed mercedes and sylvain ones to better fit my story) to make them a bit more original? or should i just not put them at all? i fear the word for word supports would end up being boring to read for the people who did play the game. also, is there someone willing to be my beta reader?

thank you to everyone who will give me a feedback about this topic! again, i really care about this fic and i want to share with as many people as i can and i want it to be enjoyable for you. 💙💚
